I’m at the airport in Grand Rapids and my flight is delayed by an hour and a half. This means that I’ll miss my connection in Minneapolis and there’s not another flight that will get me home tonight. Or rather, there is but it’s over-sold by seven people so they can’t book me on it. I’d have to go standby and hope that eight people didn’t show up so that I could get on.
I’m torn between going back to Merrie Haskell’s lake house to spend the night and getting on this plane to see if maybe I can get home.
Part of my dilemma is that the Oregon Regency Society is having a picnic tomorrow. I have managed to be out of town for every single event and was so excited that I’d finally get to go to one. I suspect that I will opt for staying here because that removes any uncertainty and the lake house is very nice.
Edited to add: Yes. I’m staying overnight here and flying home tomorrow.
In other news, it has been suggested that as a service to humanity I should post my flight itinerary so other people know what flights to avoid.
I’ll be in that airport next Thursday, hope I have better luck than you’ve had… and I hope you have better luck with the rest of your flight. On the other hand, there are far worse places to be stuck than Grand Rapids.
I suspect that the travel problems follow me so you should be fine.
Goodness, it seems like Delta is ALWAYS being delayed for you! Is it bad luck, or is it Delta?
Your last statement made me choke on my tea this morning. Hilarious.
It’s usually weather delays and I think it was this time too.
